Château de Beaucastel

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne 1997

Amazing aromas from the beginning.

Needed airtime to show off.

Only downside was the mid palate and finish. It really fell flat and almost watery. Never really improved.

Blancaneaux Rutherford Roussanne Blend 2019

This is a delicious food white. It is light, with balanced acidity. The flavor palette is green apples and red pears. We enjoyed it with Greek food. — 4 years ago

Les Filles Vin de Savoie Chignin-Bergeron Roussanne

Wow!

Nose: intense apricot.
Palate : apricot. Spice. Mineral. So precise. Amazing. Delicious. A perfection.

A hint of oxidation but not obnoxiously so.

Tablas Creek Vineyard

Paso Robles Roussanne 2015

Youthful yellow color, some intriguing honey notes laid over some lemon, white flowers and saline aromas and flavors as well, solid acid, not overly ripe or viscous, long, lingering finish, this should continue to develop in the cellar. — 3 months ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Clairette Blend 2017

Medium straw yellow . Quite rich on the nose , some toasty notes with some wax and yellow fruits , citrus peel, vanilla . On the palate this is all about the texture , quite round but enough balance , blanched almonds , peach. Waxy notes . Good length . Drink now and over the next few years , in a perfect place . — 5 months ago

My last of three bottles. The first one back in early 2021 and second one last year both showed a more fresh and vibrant profile, whereas this seemed a bit more evolved.

Gold in the glass. Right off the bat, the aromatics here are honeyed and semi-rich. Honeysuckle, but mostly Truffle honeycomb and those Bit-O-Honey candies come to mind. Didn’t detect any orange marmalade type profile I normally get with roussanne. On the palate, the honeyed notes continue with only real faint fruit notes (peach, dragonfruit). Quiet zing of acidity to keep the wine from being flabby, but it has a distinct texture.

Followed over two days and held strong. I’d rather drink these sooner rather than later, at least this vintage.

L'Hermitage Blanc Marsanne Roussanne

Wow. 25 years on this is still incredibly complex and delicious, balancing an unctuous and somewhat oily richness with all kinds of primary,!secondary, and tertiary notes. — 13 days ago

Turley

The White Coat California Grenache Blanc Blend

A Rhone white blend with a streak of Italian from California? Tastes like a winner to me. Roussane, Grenache Blanc and Vermentino from historic vineyards become a wonderfully balanced, fresh and layered wine. White fruits, melon, florals, juicy acidity, minerals and soft edges make it both drinkable and worth holding for a bit. Always a favorite from the Turley line up. — 10 days ago

Esprit Blanc de Tablas Roussanne Blend 2022

33% Roussanne, 32% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul, muted aromatics, mineral and tart fruits on the palate, less oily/viscous than the 2021, lingering finish, I marginally prefer the better balanced 2021 to this 2022. — 4 months ago
